Mexploitation

El Mariachi (1992) is a noted Mexplotiation film

Mexploitation (sometimes called Cabrito Western[1] or Mexican video-home)[2] is a film genre of low-budget films that combine elements of an exploitation film and Mexican culture or portrayals of Mexican life within Mexico often dealing with crime, drug trafficking, money and sex.

Mexican narco-cinema

The Mexican narco-cine (Spanish for narco-cinema)[3] or narco-películas (Spanish for narco-films/narco-movies),[4] are a subgenre of the Mexploitation style films,[5] focused solely on the violence and luxurious lives of drug lords and cartels.[6] The title and the storyline of these films are usually inspired by popular narco corridos (drug ballads, drug songs),[7] and are marketed as low budget[8] tie-in merchandising to the narcocorrido songs.[9] Sometimes these films feature famous narco-corrido singers on them,[10] and are rumored to be financed by drug lords themselves. However, only a few such cases have been proven.[11]

Common qualities

Mexploitation movies made in the 1960s and 1970s in Mexico were closer to their American exploitation film counterparts, with low-budget science-fiction films that often starred Mexican luchadores such as El Santo and Huracan Ramirez.

In the early 1980s and 1990s there was a notable change with films increasingly dealing with real-life issues such as drug cartels and the murders of their rivals. Notable actors in these films include Mario Almada,[12]: 15  Hugo Stiglitz,[13]: 123  Sergio Goyri, Valentin Trujillo, Jorge Reynoso,[12]: 15  Rodolfo de Anda,[13]: 79  Fernando Almada,[14] Rosa Gloria Chagoyán[14] and David Reynoso.[15]

The director Robert Rodriguez has been considered a pioneer of Mexploitation in the United States. His first film, El Mariachi, contains many Mexploitation elements and his 2007 film, Planet Terror, contained a fake trailer which developed into a feature film called Machete (2010), which contains many familiar elements of the genre.[16]

K. Gordon Murray

Exploitation film producer and distributor named K. Gordon Murray acquired a unique collection of horror films in Mexico which began to appear on American late-night television and drive-in screens in the 1960s.[17][18] Ranging from monster movies clearly owing to the heyday of Universal Studios, to the lucha libre horror films featuring El Santo[19] and the "Wrestling Women"[20] alongside the 1959 Christmas classic "Santa Claus",[21] these low-budget films are still notably campy and inspired a small cult following.[20]
